The basic premise has been done many times—guy falls through portal into another world and must go through various (mis)adventures to get out again.  The steampunk elements give this a fun twist, though, and the writing is solid.  There are occasional editorial lapses, mostly of the homonym variety, but no worse than what one would find in a lot of traditionally published paperbacks at the bookstore these days.

It will be interesting to see where this goes.  The author has the skill to tell a good tale and if this doesn’t veer off into cliche (or if it’s done in a fresh way), it’s a keeper and worth buying the print version.

Note: This review based on having read the first four chapters.
